AcTING COMMISSIONER ursnAw of
the Office of Indian Affairs Is correct
In his views of the iuadvisabillty of
teaching the Indians at the Govern
mcnt schools in their own language,
lie says that the proper policy is to
fuse us many of the Indian nationali.
ties as possible into the English race,
so far as their language, habits and
customs are concerned. 1t Is also TO be
remembered that there are numerous
different dialects and that In his future
civilized condition none of these will
possess any value to the Indian nor
are they of historical or literary i'm.
portance enough to warrant their per-
petuation.

A Fugitive from Justice.
Last week we reported in the MI

Last week we reported in the MID.
LAND the trial and commitment of
Robt. L. Reynolds for selling whis-
key at a pic mic at Colora on the
night Of July 4th. The prisoner was
a young man and ought to have been
ashamed to be mixed up in SO dis
graceful a business for the trifling
profit derived from retailing q jug
of whiskey' Report, however, cred
it's him with being an old offender,
and he is said to be wanted by the
officers of Pennsylvania for similar
offense.
After his commitment was made
out by the Magistrate and the pris-
oner was placed in the custody Of the
Constable, in place of using necessary
precautionary measures to prevent
his escape. or proceeding at once to
place him in the Sheriff's hands and
in jail. the Constable dallied about
town for several hours, during which
time th. prisoner had numerous OPP
portunities TO have effected his es.
cape, by taking little risk, and
trusting to good pair Of heels.
After taking him to the BARRIERS and
having his hair dressed shaved and
his mustach dyed the officer and his
charge set while in the shade on
the hotel porch, for the ostensible
purpose of giving the father of Reyn
olds time to procure bail,-he stated
in the court room that he wouldn't
allow his son to give bail-the pris-
oner growing tired of so much
trifing, apparently. left his seat,
walked into the hall apparently at
his leisure, and of course out at an.
other door. After an hour or so and
when the prisOner-prisOner no long.
er-had time to have walked to the
Pennsylvani aliDe, the Constable got
out q search ,oGrrent to look for him
in the hotel BY this time the news
was pretty generally spread over
town that Reynolds had escaped.
Mrs. Philips who lives near the up.
per end of Walnut street said that
she saw man sometime before walk
up the alley and go into Mr.. Keil.
holtz's corn field. The next morning
the Fugitive from justice" il is re-.
ported took the cars at Quarryville
going west to grow up with the coun.
try. This case having created a good
deal Of interest our readers will be
curious to know the particulars
which we have taken pains to state.

Killed by the Cara.

On. Saturday night about midnight
freight train which was running at
q high rate Of speed, struck, NJ. Hunt
McCummings who was on the track
about 100 yards east of Duyckinck
& Co.'S ware house, and metaphor.
cally speaking ground HIM into pow.
der. McCummings was fond of strong
drink, and had managed to secure
enough after night fall, from 9 travel.
ing saloon it is reported, to make
him very drunk. After IL O'Clock
lie started for home and was found
in pieces the next morning, by q boy
coming to town, scattered along the
track for two hundred yards. Squire
Taylor summoned a jury aud an in.
quest was held on the remains. The
jury were Job Haines, foreman, Ed
win Haines, Samuel A. Taylor, Geo.

Jenkins, G. Ringold Grason, Thos.
Foster, Z. K. Brown and Saml. Ham.
bleton. The verdict of the jury ex.
onerated the railroad company from
blame. The verdict was accidental
death by the cars. The conductor and
engineer who had charge of the train
testified at an examination before the
magistrate on Monday that they were
not aware of the accident at the time
of its occurance, having not seen the
man on the track or noticed any dis.
turbance of the engine when it struck
him. The first knowledge they had
that man had been run over was re.
ported by the "cleaner" who took
charge of the engine in Philadelphia,
and found the hand of a man in the
machinery.
In drunken stupOr he had stop.
ped on the track, and probably fell
asleep, when be was struck and torn
to pieces in an instant. The remains
were placed in ice till Monday when
they were transferred to q coffin and
buried at Houses chapel. A large
attendance gathered at the funeral,
attracted doubtless by the tragic
manner Of his death.

The Political Tussle Tomorrow.

By what we can gather the strife to.
morrow between the factions of the
unterrified threatens to be more inten-
sified and bitter than ever before; and
under these circumstances the pros
pect is fair for their being little thought
or attention given to the selection of
candidates for the purpose solely Of
serving the public. To beat the other
faction appears to be the leading OBJ
ject of those in whose hands the people
allow political power to renain.
Men of fitness and integrity have
been either so abused out of counter.
ance, or ignored that they long ago
finally determined to not allow their
names to be used as candidates; just
what the managers wish. Men Of in
telligence, capability and honorable
standing in the community have too
much self respect to endeavor to secure
nominations to responsible Office or
accept II offered to find themselves left
far behind by the popular vote, by
